CITY OF STAYTON
M E M O R A N D U M
TO: Mayor A. Scott Vigil and the Stayton City Council
FROM: Dan Fleishman, Director of Planning and Development
DATE: July 7, 2014
SUBJECT: Analysis of Alleys and Undeveloped Street Rights of Way
ISSUE
The issue before the City Council is whether to take any action regarding encroachments into
alleys and street rights of way and whether any alleys or undeveloped streets should be
vacated.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
At the May 5 City Council meeting, staff presented the City Council with a number of City Alleys
and street rights of way that had been encroached upon with buildings, fences or landscaping.
Following a brief discussion, the City Council requested that staff complete a more thorough
analysis of the City’s Alleys and rights of way and report back to the City Council with
recommendations.
Alleys
There are 55 alleys in the City. All but 2 are 16 feet wide; one is 18 feet wide; one is 20 feet
wide.
The surface of the alleys range from pavement to grass. Only one-quarter of the alleys are
paved their entire length. The number of alleys is displayed below in order of the
predominance of the surface material
Grass: 26
Paved: 13
Mix grass/paved: 7
Gravel: 5
Mix grass/gravel: 4
Alleys traditionally have a variety of uses. In the downtown area, the alleys are used a part of
the street system. They are used to access parking areas and provide an alternative to street
travel. Several downtown businesses have rear pedestrian access from the alley. Garbage
dumpsters and delivery truck use the alleys to service the adjacent properties. However, in
![Page 23: AGENDA STAYTON CITY COUNCIL MEETING 0707 - July 7, 2014...nature and for which no debate is anticipated , shall ... The Recorder to the Council will then poll the council members individually](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022030417/5aa3b6ec7f8b9ada698e96f1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

residential areas, a number of alleys can not be driven on, either because of encroachments or
because of curbing along the street. There are twelve alleys that are not driveable.
There are 35 alleys that provide vehicular access to neighboring properties. There are parcels
in the City that do not have a driveway onto a street and either use an alley for rear access to
the property or utilize the alley as a driveway. There are 13 alleys that provide the sole
vehicular access to properties. There are 6 alleys that appear to be used exclusively as used as
driveway access to only one property.
Alleys are also used an alternative location that the streets for the location of utilities. The City
has one or more of its utilities in 20 different alleys. The four private franchise utilities (Pacific
Power, Northwest Natural Gas, Stayton Cooperative Telephone Co, and WAVE Broadband) have
facilities located in 38 alleys. There are 14 alleys with no utility facilities located within them.
There are Alleys that appear to serve no purpose. There are eight Alleys that do not provide
access to neighboring properties and in which no public or private utilities are located. These
are:
• 1-2 Alley, between Pine & Fir
• 2-3 Alley, between Fir & Cedar
• 3-4 Alley, north of Robidoux
• 4-5 Alley, south of Marion
• 4-5 Alley, between Robidoux & Hollister
• 4-5 Alley, between Jefferson & Santiam
• 6-7 Alley, between Virginia & Washington
• Alley west of Alder, North of High
As noted in the May presentation, there are a number of alleys in which neighboring property
owners have encroached with improvements. These improvements include buildings, fences,
parking areas, and landscaping, as well as combinations of these factors. Staff has identified 16
alleys with one or more encroachment. Some of the alleys with encroachments do not have
any utility facilities located within them, and the City Council might wish to consider vacating
the alley.
Street Rights of Way
There are 13 segments of street right of way that are undeveloped as a street. Like the alleys,
some of these rights of way are utilized for public utilities, and some have been encroached
upon by neighboring property owners. The City has not yet requested similar information
regarding the location of private utilities. These 12 street segments are:
• E Regis St, east of N Sixth Ave – This is a 69 foot length of E Regis St, apparently laid out
in a plat by AB Dombrowski in 1955. There is an 8-inch water main located in the street.
The surface is grass and has been mowed and maintained as lawn by the neighboring
property owner(s).
• E Hollister St, east of N Seventh Ave – This is a 265 foot length of E Hollister, dedicated
as part of the Freres Addition subdivision in 1976. This segment of street is rather steep
and dead-ends behind the doctors’ offices at Santiam Hospital. The street right of way
was improved with a paved pedestrian path by the Hospital. There are water, sanitary

and storm drain utility features in the right of way. The public works staff maintain the
vegetation in the right of way.
• Deschutes Dr, west of Rogue – This is a 135 foot length of Deschutes Dr, dedicated as
part of the Stayton Industrial Park Phase No 4 subdivision in 1985. The City owns the tax
parcel to the south of this street segment. One of the industrial park stormwater
detention basin is constructed partially in the street right of way.
• N Cherry Ave, north of W High St – This is a 170 foot length of N Cherry Ave, dedicated
as part of the Ottomar Luttich Addition to Stayton in 1892, between W High St and the
Salem Ditch. There is a 2-inch water line in the street to the meter for 427 N Cherry.
This right of way has several large fir trees growing in it. There is a gravel base within
the right of Way, but it is overgrown with weeds. It appears a neighboring property
owner may mow the weeds.
• W High St, east of N Evergreen – This is a 306 foot length of E High, apparently received
by the City by quit claim deed. A 1990 survey plat on file with Marion Co indicates that
the this portion of the street was deeded to the City with a clause in the deed stating
that the land reverts to the previous owner if abandoned as a street. There are no
public utilities in this right of way. Most of the right of way is maintained as lawn by the
neighboring property owner to the north, with the remainder having grown up in trees.
• N Alder Ave, north of W High St – This is a 125 foot length of N Alder Ave, dedicated as
part of the Ottomar Luttich Addition to Stayton in 1892, between W High St and the
Salem Ditch. There are no public utilities in this right of way. The right of way is
maintained as lawn by the neighboring property owners.
• S Gardner Ave, south of Maple St – This is a 125 foot length of Gardner Ave, dedicated
as part of the Frictl’s South Addition subdivision in 1956, between Maple St and the
Main Canal of the Santiam Water Control District. There is a 12-inch storm drain line in
the right of way. The right of way is maintained as lawn by the neighboring property
owners.
• S Evergreen Ave, south of Maple St – This is a 125 foot length of S Evergreen Ave,
dedicated as Second St as part of Burson’s Addition to Stayton in 1908, between Maple
St and the Stayton Power Canal. There is a 15-inch storm drain line in the right of way.
Much of the right of way has been encroached upon by the neighboring owner to the
east, who has erected a fence and gate across the right of way and uses the right of way
for parking and as lawn. A portion of the right of way is used as the beginning of
Norblad Lane a private way serving a dozen lots to the west.
• N Fifth Ave, south of E Cedar St – This is a 200 foot length of N Fifth Ave, apparently laid
out in a plat by AB Dombrowski in 1954. The southern portion of this right of way is
only 30 feet in width. There are no public utilities in this right of way. The neighboring
property owner to the east has encroached upon the right of way with a fence and
retaining wall and maintains the area within the fence as lawn. The remainder of the
right of way appears to be maintained by the property owner to the west as lawn.

• N King Ave, south of Ida St – This is a 430 foot length of N King Ave, from the edge of
pavement, across the Santiam Water Control District’s Main Canal to W Water St. King
Ave was dedicated as Lesley Avenue as part of Cramer’s Addition to Stayton in 1912.
There are no public utilities within this right of way. The portion of the right of way
between the edge of pavement and the Main Canal is used as a parking area and garden
by the neighboring property owners to the east. South of the Main Canal, the right of
way is farmed by Norpac.
• W Water St, between N Holly Ave and N Oak Ave – This is an almost 1,900 foot length of
W Water Street, dedicated as part of Cramer’s Addition to Stayton in 1912, between the
edge of pavement west of N Holly St, across the Main Canal and ending at N Oak Ave on
the west. There is an 18-inch water main the City believes is located within the right of
way. There are also storm water lines in the right of way west of the Main Canal. East
of the Main Canal this right of way is farmed by Norpac. West of the Main Canal, the
right of way is substantially grown up into brush. A portion of the right of way west of N
Noble Ave is maintained by a neighboring property owner as lawn.
• Industrial Drive, west of Wilco Road – This is a 470 foot length of Industrial drive,
dedicated as part of Partition Plat 2006-075 in 2006. This right of way is 40 feet in width
and was envisioned to be only half of the street width, with the southern half to be
dedicated as the property to the south is developed or partitioned. The street is not yet
constructed but will be when any of the three lots in this partition are developed. There
are no public utilities in the right of way. The right of way is maintained by the
neighboring property owner as an agricultural field.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council notify neighboring property owners of encroachments,
informing them of the existence of the public right of way or alley and that the encroachment
may remain until the City otherwise notifies the property owner. Further staff recommends the
City further identify the alleys that could be vacated without impacting public or private utilities
or the street network and begin the vacation process.
OPTIONS AND MOTIONS
The City Council has a number of options, which are not mutually exclusive. The City could:
1. Request property owners remove encroachments from alleys and street rights of way.
2. Send letters to property owners informing them they are encroaching on public property
and that the City may, in the future, require them to remove their encroachment.
3. Identify which alleys and street rights of way could be vacated.
4. Take no action.

CITY OF STAYTON
M E M O R A N D U M TO: Mayor Vigil and the Stayton City Council FROM: Katinka Bryk, Library Director DATE: July 7, 2014 SUBJECT: New Library Staff Job Descriptions
ISSUE The issue before the Council is whether or not to approve new job descriptions for library staff. BACKGROUND INFORMATION The Library currently has only two job descriptions for adult services staff, Library Assistant and Library Aide. There are five adult services staff members, four of which are part‐time. The full time staff member is a Library Assistant and has worked at the Library for ten years. The others are designated as Library Aides, who have all been employed here more than five years. Many of the Library Aides have taken on tasks beyond the job description of basic circulation services. The majority of them are at the top of their step and/or in the wrong designation. Creating new tiered job descriptions will allow for recognition of the specialized skills of some of the staff, and for career development as they learn new skills.
Current Grade New Grade Library Assistant 3 6 Library Assistant 2 4 Library Assistant 4 Library Assistant 1 3 Library Aide 2 Library Aide 2
FISCAL IMPACT There are none. Operation and staffing have been reorganized to offset the small wage increases. OPTIONS Approve, deny or direct modification of the proposed Library staff job descriptions. MOTION(S) 1) Motion to approve the new Library staff job descriptions. 2) Motion to modify the new Library staff job descriptions as follows ______________. 3) Deny request and leave job descriptions unchanged. No motion necessary.
